They Walk Among Us

I got the They Walk Among Us joke list on e-mail, and wanted to share my favourite:

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount…. They Walk Among Us!!!!!!

Which drives home that statistic I saw last week, that almost half of Britain’s adults don’t understand percentages.
